Shapiro has published numerous articles on language, law, and information science, including "The Politically Correct United States Supreme Court and the Motherfucking Texas Court of Appeals: Using Legal Databases to Trace the Origins of Words and Quotations" [2] and "Who Wrote the Serenity Prayer". [3]
A version of the Serenity prayer appearing on an Alcoholics Anonymous medallion (date unknown).. The Serenity Prayer is an invocation by the petitioner for wisdom to understand the difference between circumstances ("things") that can and cannot be changed, asking courage to take action in the case of the former, and serenity to accept in the case of the latter.
In the field of quantum information theory, the quantum systems studied are abstracted away from any real world counterpart. A qubit might for instance physically be a photon in a linear optical quantum computer, an ion in a trapped ion quantum computer, or it might be a large collection of atoms as in a superconducting quantum computer.
Quantum information theory is a generalization of classical information theory to use quantum-mechanical particles and interference. It is used in the study of quantum computation and quantum cryptography .

William "Bill" Kent Wootters is an American theoretical physicist, and one of the founders of the field of quantum information theory. In a 1982 joint paper with Wojciech H. Zurek, Wootters proved the no-cloning theorem, [1] at the same time as Dennis Dieks, and independently of James L. Park who had formulated the no-cloning theorem in 1970.
Charles Henry Bennett (born 1943) [1] is a physicist, information theorist and IBM Fellow at IBM Research.Bennett's recent work at IBM has concentrated on a re-examination of the physical basis of information, applying quantum physics to the problems surrounding information exchange.
Quantum information science is a field that combines the principles of quantum mechanics with information theory to study the processing, analysis, and transmission of information. It covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum physics, including the limits of what can be achieved with quantum information .
